Behavioral Presentation Other
We had a bunch of recorded interviews with an online questionnaire, and then two interviews in person or via zoom with different staff members. After that, there was a demonstration of teaching. Finally, there was a short interview with the staff who watched the teaching demonstration. It all seemed pretty straightforward.

Presentation Behavioral
The first step was a video interview, and I only had one shot at it, with a strict three-minute time limit for most questions (except for the lesson plan part). There were a total of seven questions. I didn't make it past this stage, so I don't know what comes next.
Confirmed questions5 questions

Behavioral Presentation
You start with an interview with a Talent Officer or Headmaster, which isn't behavioral. They'll note you down and send it to headmasters needing teachers. If a headmaster is interested, they'll call you. If you pass this interview, you'll get an invite (and travel money) to meet them in person and do a teaching demo at their school. The in-person interview is more like a casual chat, not behavioral. The headmaster makes the hiring decision. During my demo, we did a role-play where I was the teacher and they were a student, to see how I'd handle a respectful student.
